Default Ferguson Studio 50D - any info please

Hi,
I've just bought an old "music centre", model Fegurson Studio 50D.
This unit looks very much like a Hitachi unit I had many years ago.
At present just the tuner and amp are working, I'm very impressed with the
quality of the amplifier and would love to restore the whole unit to life.
The cassette deck runs however, there is a minute amount of output on one
channel and nothing on the other. I've cleaned the tape heads with fluid
and the chamois leather tipped sticks. The VU meters don't follow the
cassette being played. The Dolby switch reduces hiss, and the three bias
positions seem to do something - difficult to tell due to tiny o/p.
I've Servisoled the various switches and pots and have got the tuner doing
its stuff and the various controls are now smooth and fine. I'd be most
grateful for any advice or info.
Thanks in advance
Tony
